Hi,

Was running the 180MHz file for about 30 seconds, then the miner aborted with IO errors after some succesful hashes.
I did a complete reset but the board does not come back  Huh

I had two 40mm fans above each heatsink, the did not get hot, therefore I don't believe they are burnt.
Maybee something about the power supply went wrong?
Can you gibe me some instruction what to do? Can I check the Voltage regulators?

Code:
root@esprimo:~/x6500-miner-org# python listDevices.py
 0 AH00WOVU *
* means this device is currently available
root@esprimo:~/x6500-miner-org# ./program.py -v  ztexmerge_166mhz.bit
